Low Carb Avocado Pesto Sauce Recipe

This Low Carb Avocado Pesto Sauce makes a wonderful sauce for low carb pasta, a topping for low carb toast or even a little extra flavoring for your morning eggs!

I love a good sauce. And now that I eat low carb and higher fat, I’ve kinda been having fun in that department. I mean, a good sauce can make almost anything taste amazing!

I’m getting much better these days at avoiding dairy. It definitely thwarts my weight loss efforts and my reactions to it are getting a bit more severe. So I’m learning the hard way that diary is not my friend. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t enjoy things that typically have diary in them. I mean, pesto is known for having ton of parmesan cheese in it. Most people already know that. So when you can’t have dairy, you have to get a bit creative if you still want to enjoy things like pesto.

I love the creaminess that avocados add to a sauce. You can easily adjust the consistency with a bit of water without losing flavor. Just add a tiny bit at a time if you want a sauce that isn’t quite so thick.

But I have to say that when it’s thick like this, it even makes an excellent dip with zucchini chips!! So much so that I almost titled this recipe, “Pesto Guacamole”. But in the end, I wanted something that would be delicious over low carb pastas such as Zoodles or spaghetti squash.

As a clean eater, I’ve become frustrated with the number of low carb recipes that call for a "box of something" as an ingredient. There are so many FAKE low carb foods out there. I mean, they are low in carbs, but the ingredients often leave me scratching my head.

I may not want carbs, but that doesn’t mean I want to replace them with chemicals and garbage! So I started applying low carb eating to my usual clean eating ways, and so far, it's working great!
